LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is within striking distance of becoming the NFL's most sacked quarterback in a season. The prevailing narrative around the hits taken by the No. 1 overall pick is a point of contention for the 23-year-old.
Williams has been sacked 67 times through 16 games, which is nine shy of the record that has been held since 2002 when former Houston Texans quarterback David Carr was sacked 76 times.
Williams added to his total when he was sacked seven times in Chicago's 6-3 loss to Seattle on Dec.
